PROJECT Contemporary-style self-build

LOCATION Surrey

BUILD COST £750,000

ARCHITECT Concept Eight Architects

Replacing a nondescript and outdated bungalow, this three-storey riverside home has been designed to respond to its setting, while maintaining a confident, contemporary aesthetic. vertical black timber cladding on the upper two storeys – a modern take on the local vernacular – contrasts with the white render below. Meanwhile, large expanses of retractable glazing at the rear of the house provide extensive views of the garden and river beyond and flood the home with natural light.
